The Library is Open! Researching Your Civil War Ancestors
Craig Scott uses a case study to trace a Civil War soldier from before the War until after the soldier's death. The purpose of this lecture is to focus on the records created by Union and Confederate soldiers before and after the war, and where the records can be found.

A professional genealogical and historical researcher for more than thirty-eight years, he specializes in records of the National Archives, especially those that relate to the military. He has coordinated the Military tracks at IGHR, SLIG, and GRIP in years past. He is currently the Coordinator of the SLIG Consultation Track, helping students solve their brick wall problems.
